Can you believe that MCO was 5 years ago? Half a decade ago? Mana pergi masa-masa tu eh? Masa MCO tu rasa macam end of the world dah dengan slogan "Norma Baharu" ibaratnya start dari 2020 tu kita semua kena hidup dengan mask and keluar rumah bercatu tak boleh balik raya. Sumpah it was an experience sebab during those time juga lah I fell into my anxiety and depression.
Konon bela kucing boleh lah kurangkan stress which it did at first lepastu mati pula kucing nya jatuh tingkat 14. I fell further into the dark hole sampailah I decided untuk berubat. Alhamdulillah sekarang dah okay but not fully recovered yet because they are times benda tu muncul but not as severe as it used to be.
Okay let's talk about raya during MCO. That was kind of sad to be honest but alhamdulillah juga I was surrounded with people yang satu frequency so tak lah rasa sunyi sangat masa raya tu. Masa tahun tu juga lah I became so ambitious when it comes to making my baju raya. From buat sepasang je years before, terus bersemangat nak buat 3 pasang or at least 3 helai baju for raya. I think it was also the time where I started to treat raya like my own personal MET Gala. Tak lah menarik mana pun the baju that I made but I'm happy when there are few people who connected with what I've created. Those little constructive comments lah yang buat I feel so motivated to create for years to come.
Still in the raya topic, I remember me and my housemates bergotong royong masak lauk raya untuk dijamu bersama. Berapa orang je masa tu beraya sekali, adalah dalam 4 orang. Pula masa tu boleh pergi beli groceries dengan sorang je dalam kereta. Macam-macam hal, sebab berkirim-kirim kan. Yang ni tak kenal bahan tu, yang tu tak tahu bahan ni. Sudahnya kitorang masak je lah apa yang ada and alhamdulillah semua boleh makan. Nak kata sedap tu subjective right? So kita settle with "semua boleh makan".
But despite all that, I think raya masa MCO tu dah jadi one of my core memories sebab it was sad but fun at the same time. Faham tak? Kau sedih tak dapat balik beraya as usual but at the same time it gave you a glimpse into your future. Contohnya bila kau dah tua nanti and hidup keseorangan diri dekat rumah-rumah orang tua. Macam tu lah hidup kau nanti kan. Wait! is that supposed to be the fun part? I don't know.
So how was your raya MCO dulu? apa je kenangan yang korang teringat sampai sekarang?
